To manually convert MBOX to PST, follow these steps:
While the manual method is feasible for small migrations, it is not efficient for bulk email transfer. The Regain MBOX to Outlook PST Converter offers a streamlined, automated solution for converting multiple MBOX files into PST and other formats. It:
- Import MBOX into Mozilla Thunderbird: First, add your MBOX file as a local folder in Thunderbird.
- Sync Email Account: Configure your email account in Thunderbird and move the MBOX emails into that account.
- Configure in Microsoft Outlook: Set up the same email account in Outlook and allow it to sync the emails.
- Export to PST: Once emails are synced, use Outlook’s built-in export feature to save the emails as a PST file.
- The process can be time-consuming, especially for large volumes of MBOX files.
- Requires manual synchronization of each MBOX file, which is inefficient for bulk migration.
- There may be issues with maintaining folder hierarchy or email properties (such as attachments).
